Which Scar Treatment Product is Best for a Relatively Flat Scar on the Forehead? (photo)

I had an accident where I slipped in the pool and fell straight into the railing head-first, cutting the skin between the eyebrows from the hit. Luckily, a very good plastic surgeon closed the wound between the eyebrows. Now, after the scab from the scar fell off, I can see the scar completely and it looks pretty good. It is flat and thin. However, I still wish to treat it. I want to know which scar treatment product would be best for this type of scar. It is not raised, sunken, or thick.

To avoid dark pigmentation, you need to avoid the sun while the scar is healing. Please consult with your plastic surgeon to see what postoperative topical treatments (s)he recommends to minimize visible scarring. (S)he will likely carry special topical treatments that are otherwise unavailable elsewhere.
